    I've been doing decline pushups for years and now am doing weighted (90lbs) decline planks as well and I can tell you they have really made my pecs and shoulders come to life. The next step is 100 lbs between my shoulder blades as I do planks. I have done 2 reps of decline pushups with 100 lbs on my back. I love the exercise! Love the weighted planks! I dislike immensely bench presses and have gotten more results from the above program than anything with bench presses. Just holding the plank with the 90 lbs for 30 seconds is a real challenge to both the core and shoulders and chest and I can really feel it. Try 'em, you'll love 'em! Hackpalooka
